OK, So the last couple of days I have noticed a lot of oil on my driveway. Almost pooling. This hasn;t happened since I did the swap so was curious as to what was going on. I changed over to synthetic (2,500 miles on the engine, it was time.) and cleaned the engine up really good (oil everywhere because of no catch can on the left bank yet)
Anyway, I have been checking my catchcan every couple days and noticed there was almost no oil in it so I thought awesome. Then today, about 50 miles after changing oil and 4 days after noticing a lot of oil on my drivway, I open the catchcan and it is completly full! oil was even starting to squirt through the catchcan filter and get all over the engine bay.
I'm pretty sure the pooling oil is just oil leaking off the frame after I stop so I don;t think I have an oil leak. but what would cause such a drastic difference in how much oil comes out the crankcase vents??? I;m stumped.
